I'm starting to think the same to be honest.
It looks like the are riding when it's a crash. They ride and when they know where Contador is, they stop riding

Interesting how a dull stage, has suddenly turned quite interesting (in the wrong sort of way unfortunatly)

Levi Leipheimer, Ryder Hesjedal, Tyler Farrar and Geraint Thomas are among the riders in the second peloton that is trying to make it back across. With crosswinds buffeting the peloton, the riders are fanned across the road.

Yeah, and things change in an instead! Now Garmin are riding for Thor, and Sky are without a captain unless Ural steps up on the next stages.

I guess it's all they can do. Uran is the 2nd best rider. And give the other guys green lights to try for individual success maybe?

Yeah, Breakaways and sprints i think they will go for now. And Uran will be pretty much alone in the mountains now i think...

Hoogerland, Thomas, Navarro, Txurruka, Hesjedal, Leipheimer, Oss, Flecha, Hagen, Knees, Zandio, Devenyns, Engels, Steegmans, Roux, Moncoutie, Rolland, Coyot, Hivert, Jeandesboz
are definitely in the 2nd group.
Horner even behind them. Also Vinokourov and Kreuziger should be there.

RadioShack started with 4 leaders, Brajkovic out, Leipheimer 2nd time back due to a crash, also Horner back today. So just Klöden left.
Also Astana big problems today as also Sky.
Schlecks, Martin, Contador, Klöden, Evans, Gesink, VanDenBroeck obviously in the first group.
Kløden has been looking good so far. But now he wound't get so much help in the mountains.
Why? Now he's the only leader he should get quite a lot MORE help than otherwise.

Disaster for a lot of teams. But it just shows how important it is to sit in the front!

Because everybody else has been on the ground, several times.

Tomorrows stage is setting up to be a good one. Some people need to attack to gain some time

Mollema is there too.
And with Hagen and Thomas in the second group it looks like Bob will be in white at the end of the day.
